Real World Strategies for Implementing Quality and Safety From Hospital to Home Care

Delivering high-quality, safe care requires strategies that follow patients from the hospital to the home. Real-world implementation of quality and safety initiatives must bridge the gap between hospital care settings and home-based services, ensuring continuity, clear communication, and accountability. From standardized discharge planning and medication reconciliation to home health monitoring and caregiver education, healthcare systems must align clinical best practices with practical, community-based support. By integrating hospital teams, primary care providers, home health agencies, and families into a unified care model, organizations may promote improved healthcare outcomes. Real-World Strategies for Implementing Quality and Safety From Hospital to Home Care explores how healthcare organizations apply practical, evidence-based strategies to maintain quality and patient safety as individuals transition from hospital settings to home care. It examines the systems, communication processes, care coordination models, and accountability measures that help prevent errors, reduce readmissions, and ensure safety. This book covers topics such as business strategy, risk management, and workplace culture, and is a useful resource for business owners, medical and healthcare professionals, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
